TROY, N.Y. — Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduates Rachel Soto-Garcia and Abdullah Abid have joined clean-and-construction technology company SolaBlock through Rensselaer’s Invent@Rensselaer Immersion Startup Program.
‘This internship gives me an opportunity to understand and appreciate the renewable energy industry in a new light. I want to help places that are still developing and help the world for a better tomorrow,’ Soto-Garcia said, adding her parents experienced frequent power outages from rain in their home country of Guatemala.
